Ingredients
- Ground turkey: 1 pound
- Turkey bacon: 8 slices
- Garlic: 4 cloves, minced
- Onion: 1/2, chopped
- Marinara sauce: 24 ounces
- Lasagna noodles: 9 oven-ready noodles
- Shredded mozzarella cheese: 2 cups
- Grated parmesan cheese: 1/2 cup
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet, cook ground turkey over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess grease.
- Step 2: Add minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, until softened. Stir in the marinara sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Step 3: While the sauce simmers, cook the turkey bacon until crispy. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
- Step 4: In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top. Spread another layer of meat sauce, sprinkle with 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese, 1/3 of the parmesan cheese, and 1/3 of the crumbled turkey bacon. Repeat layers twice more, ending with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
- Step 5: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For easier slicing, let the lasagna cool for at least 15 minutes after baking; it will also prevent burning your mouth!
- Store leftover lasagna in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain its deliciousness.
- Reheat individual slices in the microwave or bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
- Don't be afraid to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meat sauce for a little extra kick!
